Dubbed an “archetypal jazz outsider” (Jazzwise Magazine), northern English
saxophonist Sam Newbould has emerged as one of the most distinctive voices on the
Dutch scene. His quintet draws together an international line-up of musicians from the
UK, Spain, Israel and the Netherlands. Their latest album, Bogus Notus (ZenneZ
Records 2021), mixes the melodic lyricism of jazz and folk with heavy danceable
grooves and explosive improvisations. The album received international praise and was
described as “compulsive listening” (All About Jazz). Based in Amsterdam, the quintet
won the prestigious Keep an Eye Records in 2019 and were inJazz showcase artists in
2021. They have been invited to perform at BIMHUIS, Lantaren Venster, Muziekgebouw
aan ‘t IJ and Amsterdam JazzFest amongst others.
